What exactly did Blake Lively do that broke Royal protocol at Kensington Palace?

Blake Lively is a Hollywood A-Lister and seemed to think that the rules didn’t apply to her when she broke Royal protocol at London’s Kensington Palace on Tuesday. 

The Gossip Girl, 35, visited the Crown to Couture exhibition where her 2022 Met Gala dress is currently on display. Blake’s Atelier Versace gown that she wore to the Met Gala’s “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” theme. The dress famously changed from copper to green on the steps designed to mimic the oxidation process of the Statue of Liberty. 

After seeing that the dress was not looking its best Blake jumped over the red rope to adjust the gown until it was perfect. The actress, who is married to Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds, shared the moment on her Instagram stories with the caption “When you’re the clown who hops over the rope at the museum to fix the exhibit. Happy almost Virgo season folx.”

One of the traits of a Virgo is that they are all meant to be perfectionists and like everything around them to also be perfect. 

It goes without saying that at any museum or exhibition, you do not touch the displays and especially don’t jump the red rope. It looks as though Blake was given the OK by staff and thankfully didn’t get into any trouble. 

Blake’s dress is on exhibition alongside over 200 other pieces including Beyoncé's look for the 2017 Grammy Awards, designed by Peter Dundas, and the custom Moschino chandelier-inspired outfit designed for Katy Perry and worn at the 2019 Met Gala.
